The purpose of this book is twofold: To survey control system design
methods based on the system inversion technique and to collect into one
place the many recent results in the field. It has been known for some
time that inverse systems may be used to solve numerous control
problems. Despite the importance and conceptual simplicity of this topic
there appears to be no monograph written on it. The purpose of this work
is therefore to present and apply a systematic design method which bases
itself on the fundamental system property of invertibility. Many
different theoretical and practical aspects are considered in this
volume working from elementary topics in the first section to current
research in the second.
